About Me
Maggie Dawson PGDip Paediatrics BSc(Hons) Physiotherapy MCSP
I studied Physiotherapy at King’s College London, graduating in 2008, and have been a fully registered member of the Health & Care Professions Council (HCPC) ever since. I hold an immaculate record of professional conduct, am fully insured, DBS-checked, and first aid trained — ensuring the highest standards of safety and professionalism for every child and family I work with.
My career has taken me across the world: I’ve provided charitable care in Tanzania and Malaysia, spent four years working in Australia, and most recently was the sole paediatric physiotherapist in the Cayman Islands, covering all three islands. I’ve worked in both the private and public sectors, giving me a broad and adaptable skill set.
In 2014, I completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Advanced Paediatric Physiotherapy at University College London. Since then, I have invested heavily in specialist postgraduate training, including becoming a Level C certified Dynamic Movement Intervention (DMI) practitioner, and gaining the Bond Solon Cardiff University Civil Expert Certificate for medico-legal practice. I am also an active member of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP), the Association of Paediatric Chartered Physiotherapists (APCP), and the Medico-Legal Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (MLACP).
I’m passionate about evidence-based practice, keeping up to date with the latest NHS guidance, research, and innovations in paediatric physiotherapy. My approach is highly specialised, family-centred, and goal-driven, ensuring that every child achieves their best possible outcomes.
